Ukraine’s defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov says drone strikes are disrupting Russian logistics and could effectively isolate the occupied Crimea, turning it into an island; Kyiv has stepped up production and use of medium-range strike drones and launched a “logistics lockdown” to deploy them, with strikes on transport links tied to fewer Russian front-line offensives.
Ukraine appointed Mykhailo Fedorov, a tech-savvy reformist, as defence minister and ordered fast, technology-driven changes to strengthen air defence, frontline supplies, and battlefield connectivity (including drones and Starlink). Zelenskiy pushed for broader mobilisation reforms as parliament extended martial law, amid a grinding Russian offensive and ongoing corruption concerns in the energy sector.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has proposed Mykhailo Fedorov, the current Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, to become the new Minister of Defense, citing his effective work on digitalization and defense tech initiatives, while confirming the continuation of current Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal in a different role.
